'Progressive' NSW Libs say 'we aren't Vic'

Senior NSW Liberals are distancing themselves from the Victorian Liberal Party after their devastating election defeat.

Transport Minister Andrew Constance described the state government as "progressive" on Monday when asked to asses the Victorian result.

"We aren't them - we are not them," Mr Constance told reporters in Sydney on Monday.

His comments came after NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian on Sunday distanced the NSW Liberals from the federal party after many commentators argued the dumping of Malcolm Turnbull as prime minister contributed to Saturday's heavy loss.

"We are not the Commonwealth, we are not Victoria, we're very different, we are doing things differently, we are a progressive, accountable mojo state," Mr Constance said.
